FOT,

I am not stumping for anyone and I have no firm position in this thread. I just 
want to throw out there that we have had an excellent experience with SPEC and 
the clutches that they have delivered to us. We did a tranny swap after two 
seasons in a clutch so I took the pressure plate off to inspect everything. The 
friction surface on the paddles had less than 50% wear on them. Everything had 
worn very evenly and was in excellent shape.

Our learning curve was getting our hydraulic system to handle the load that the 
heavily sprung pressure plate required.  We did accomplish that with a few 
changes and all has been good for over two seasons. Spec?s quality of 
components and  customer service have been great for us. Their turn around time 
is also very impressive. We got our most recent clutch disc within 3 days of 
ordering and it was custom made for us.

Best wishes to all in finding a solution that they are happy with. We certainly 
found ours and it has made our lives easier.

Interesting.  My setup is from clutchnet, but "responsive" is not the term I'd 
have used.  Knowledgeable, yes.  I was happy with the product but not the 
service.  Maybe it was just that one transaction though.

They made a custom clutch disc for me and uprated my stock TR6 pressure plate. 
Very responsive.

I purchased mine from Richard Good.  I don't have close ratios, so it's the 
standard TR6 spline.  I would guess he can get them in the other spline count 
also.

I have not - where do I source?


Scott,
Have you tried the AP racing clutch disc (stock size)? Very smooth engagement, 
claimed increase in torque capacity over stock disc.

I?ve apparently reached beyond the limits of a stock pressure plate and a 
traditional/organic material clutch disc.  I was getting unacceptable clutch 
slip at the Kastner Cup initially on the 3-4 and then on the 2-3 shifts, to the 
point I could not apply full power.  It?s not oil, just heat and power, as the 
clutch disc has only a few events on it.  I?ve got over 180 hp at the 
crankshaft.

What sources have you all found for uprated components?  I?m willing to change 
flywheels.  Should I consider a small diameter, solid center/multi-disc racing 
clutch?  With the close ratio gears and welded diff, I need to do a fair amount 
of clutch slip around the paddock, and am also concerned about how the on-off 
nature of one these might further stress the differential.
